Chapter 9 Arrival in Wuhan

——————————————————————————————————————————

At 10:27 a.m. the next day, when the train entered the Wuhan platform and left the station, a carload of people were talking about the incident of the mass graves and ghosts last night, but now this incident can only be regarded as a folk rumor.

At seven o'clock this morning, Gao Peng got up and told me that he found that last night Weibo was still talking about the ghost collision, but this morning he found that all Weibo and reports related to last night on the Internet had been deleted. It's as if nothing like this has ever happened in this world. Although there are still many people on the whole train to see it, these people are not worth mentioning compared to the huge base of the Chinese population, and this kind of thing will soon be forgotten by people without news reports.

In the morning, I told Gao Peng about last night's experience, he didn't believe it at first, but when I mentioned Yuan Baqian, he immediately became interested, probably to redeem the reason why he was scolded as a stupid by Xiao Wanhui before, he tried his best to say: "Look, how about it, I'll just say that the old gentleman still has two hits." ”

There were a lot of people getting off at Wuhan Station, and many people in the same carriage as us got off the train. Xiao Wanhui is a graduate student at a university in Wuhan, and tomorrow is the day she starts school, and when Gao Peng and I say goodbye to her, I can feel that her eyes are still staring at Bu Jin, intentionally or unintentionally.

The young man holding "Imaginary Country" also got off the bus at this stop, he didn't have much luggage, only a black backpack, very deflated, and it didn't seem to contain much.

As one of the transportation hubs of the eastern coastal cities and the central inland cities, Wuhan has an unusually large floating population.

When we got out of the station, we didn't know where to go. Gao Peng's playfulness is very big, this is his first time in Wuhan, always shouting to go out of the city, but I remember Ryazan to me, resolutely no longer wander around the city of Wuhan, so, out of the train station, directly found a relatively clean hotel near the train station to stay.

On the first day of arriving in Wuhan, Ryazan did not have any news, Gao Peng and I ate a lot of Wuhan's special food nearby, Gao Peng has a soft spot for hot dry noodles, and I prefer pork ribs and lotus root soup, a few times, I even felt that I really came to Wuhan to play, but whenever I returned to the hotel, I saw the silent Bu Jin, and the jade plate on her chest that gradually turned pale green, I woke up to the fact that there are still many things to do.

At one o'clock in the morning the next day, my cell phone suddenly rang, and I answered the phone, and there would be no one else but Ryazan.

"My Lord Peixi, why are you still so negligent?" I hadn't heard Ryazan's voice for a long time, and the tone of his voice seemed to have changed somewhat, but for a while, I didn't know where the Dao had changed.

"Negligent? What's wrong? I asked.

Ryazan said: "You have been followed, and there is more than one person, many people, I can't meet with you anymore, let's meet directly at the destination." ”

"To Zhushan County?" I asked.

Ryazan seemed a little surprised, and smiled: "Huh? Master Peixi, you've become smarter. ”

I was a little proud, so I said to him, "You think I'm so stupid, let me tell you, this time, Lao Tzu came after making sufficient preparations!" The most famous ancient civilization in Hubei Province is the ancient Yong country, and the national capital of the ancient Yong country is today's Zhushan County! ”

Ryazan sighed twice and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Lord Peixi knows that he has done his homework, which is very good." However, most of the homework you do is something that can be found in books, and that kind of thing is no longer of much value, so your information is still a little short. ”

I was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean, aren't we going to Zhushan?" ”

"Nope." Ryazan smiled, "Let's go to Shennongjia, uh...... Shennongding, to be precise. ”

Shennongjia?

When it comes to Shennongjia, most people's first reaction will never be any ancient civilization, the first word that comes to mind must be "savage", and immediately after, people will think of a large area of primeval forest, because the Shennongjia area is the only well-preserved subtropical forest area in China, and it is also very famous in the world.

However, in my thoughts, if you want to find the person "person" who influenced the entire ancient Chinese civilization in the ruins of ancient civilization, it should be to go to the archaeological site of Guyong Kingdom instead of the Shennongjia primeval forest area.

I explained my doubts to Ryazan, but Ryazan said, "My Lord Peixi, what valuable clues can we have in those well-known archaeological sites?" There is already a shadow of your father at those archaeological sites, which means that your father has found some clues, but the place we are really going to is not an archaeological site, but a hidden area that no one knows. ”

I thought about it and agreed. So, that night, I discussed with Ryazan how to go to Shennongjia. In order to make it easier for people to hide their eyes, Ryazan asked us to find a travel agency in Wuhan to go to Shennongjia in the name of tourism, and not to be sure of a return ticket, so that even if we arrived in Shennongjia, we would easily be recognized as a traveler and would not arouse the suspicion of others.

The matter was finalized, and the next morning, Gao Peng and Bu Jin and I asked the owner of the hotel where the nearest travel agency was.

Probably stimulated by Ryazan's words, when I walked down the crowded streets of Wuhan, I couldn't help but take two steps and turn my head to see if anyone was following me, even though I knew in my heart that such a method would not work at all, but I just couldn't help but do it. Even when I pass by the shop window, I always use the reflection of the window to see what is behind me.

However, everything worked fine and nothing special happened. There are young people in sunglasses on the streets, old men in shabby cotton jackets, and young girls who can't resist the desire to show off their bodies and put on stockings early to show off their figures.

In April in the south, the weather was already quite warm compared to the north, so I only put on a thin jacket and walked on the road with Gao Peng and Bu Jin.

At 9:12 a.m., we walked into the tour agency that the innkeeper had recommended to us. Business doesn't seem to be doing very well with this travel agency, the place is small and dilapidated and the most important thing is that the service attitude is not generally bad.

We were greeted by a young woman in her thirties, with an exaggerated and old-fashioned gold ring on her ring finger, the image of a typical second-class urban resident. We asked her about Shennongjia's travel recommendations, and she asked us very badly if we were in a hurry. We told her that the sooner the better.

Jin Ring looked through the notes of the work, and then said to us: "It's quite a coincidence that you are in time, and a group of people will go to Shennongjia tomorrow." As she spoke, she took a few leaflets and handed them to me, and then said to me: "These are tourism projects, three days and two nights, including board and lodging, chartered fare, 500 yuan per person, if you can, pay now." ”

I pinched the leaflet into a paper ball, didn't even look at it, and just said that it was just this class.

After leaving the hotel, I asked Gao Peng to accompany me to the department store to buy some equipment. This time, I had a heart-to-heart and said that in the lush primeval forest, I might encounter some strange things, which I have deeply learned in Yunnan.

Gao Peng didn't understand it at first, but then I told him that the things I bought would eventually be useful one day.

I don't know if Ryazan prepared his own equipment, but I still brought a part of it for him when I bought it. I bought four wolf-eye flashlights, some gauze, bandages, a couple of lighters, a lot of compressed biscuits and canned meat, and I even wanted to buy four sleeping bags, but I was stopped by Gao Peng and didn't buy them.

I racked my brain to wonder if I had forgotten something, and then I went and bought two compasses and a telescope. At first, I was going to buy a map of Shennongjia, but later the store told me that the map was only a map of the Shennongjia tourist attraction at most, and as for the interior of those primeval forests, because no one had gone deeper, there was naturally no so-called map.
